Automatically name swing component, Help

Hi, in a method we receive an array of table names.
how is it possible to automatically generate a swing JLabel name for the JLabel object
from the names of the tables in a loop,for example
for(int i = 0; i < numberOfRows; i++)
JLabel name = new JLabel(nameAndType); //nameAndType contains table names
insertPanel.add(i, _constraints);
we need to generate JLabel objects with names the same as the contents of the array.

You can group components in one JPanel, but as far as I know
you must enable/disable each component individually.
The only exception to this, that I know, is JFrame: if you disable JFrame,
the whole GUI is blocked.

How to call Ocx in swing Component

Hi i want to play Flash4 file xxx.swf in swing Component
JMF Api Supports upto Flash2 only i downloadled Flash4 player which is a ocx file .how can i integrate this ocx in swing Component
help me please
regards
Mahesh.B

I have used the tool JacoZoom by InfoZoom (http://www.infozoom.de).
The tool can create JCWs (java callable wrappers) for COM and ActiveX objects.
If they are visual, you can create and display them within your Java app
either as AWT or in Swing.
In general, JacoZoom is the best tool I have found so far, it is my
favorite.

Help-using document as a java swing component

Hi,
can i use a document excel file or a doc file as a swing component.
i have few templates in in excel and .doc format.
i use them to produce bills by just entering data.
Now i want to develop a swing application and use the same templates in jpanel or jtextpane or jeditorpane.
its very hectic to make templates in swing using tables and all.
is there any api which can help me out???
thanks

as a Swing component? No.
There's probably libraries for reading those types of files, and maybe displaying them. POI, perhaps?

Swing component's margin in a frame

Hello all,
When you set the bounds of a Swing component in a frame, it will automatically apply those bounds to the VISIBLE part of the frame, so that, a Y value of 0, for example, will not be at the very top of the frame, but right underneath the title bar of the frame. If you give a regular AWT a value of 0 to it's Y coordinate, part (or all) of it will be covered by the title bar of the frame. This does not happen with Swing components, which automatically add the height of the title bar to the value you give to their Y coordinate.
Now, what I want to know is, how can I retrieve the value of that "automatic margin"?. How can I know the number of pixels that the Swing component is being slided down, in order to save the title bar of the frame? This value can not be constant, since it will differ from one platform to another, and from one Look 'n Feel to another, but I have not been able to find out the way to get the value that it's being applied in each case.
As allways, many thanks in advance for your help.

Don't know if there is any direct way to get this information. But, assuming the border width/height is equal on all four sides you could try something like:
Dimension frameD = frame.getSize();
Dimension contentD = frame.getContentPane().getSize();
int borderWidth = frameD.width - contentD.width;
int titleHeight = frameD.height - contentD.height - borderWidth;

Name Of Component or Link To Example Required

Hi, gentlemen and ladies.
I need to the name of the component at the bottom of this Image.
I've tried google with the following options: ButtonBar, Carosel Bar, DockPanel, Rocket Dock (swing) etc, without much luck. Also, aside the name, if anyone has an idea of such a swing component which has already been developed, I would kindly like a link to the project or download page.
Thanks in advance for any help provided

Sorry, not JToolBar.
I found out on the other thread (posted by accident) that it is an OSX Dock.
No more post should be made to this thread, this thread should be used instead.
Thanks

HTML in Swing Tutorial/Help

I'm looking for a tutorial or just help here on how to display an HTML file in a swing component.

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/editorpane.html
These components won't be able to display anything but the most basic HTML page. I've seen better components out there (you will have to search).
When I needed to do this, I used the browser itself. I had an applet in one frame which sent html to the other frame via javascript.

How to embed swing component into javaFX ?

Maybe I missed sth, but can someone explain us how can we embed swing component into javaFX 2.0 ?
This was previously handled with javaFX "srcipt", why can't we do it anymore ?
As far as the work to migrate from 1.3 to 2.0 is hard and huge, why do fx2.0 do not offer such feature anymore ? :(
I know that ThingFx project try to cope with, but the current code doesn't match with my needs.
Thanks for help,

I know this post is old and the original authors might not even ben active; but it essentiall gets to the heart of what I'm trying to.
I have a JDialogBox. In it I have a panel (which I have to change to a JScrollPane). Inside the JPanel I have a JLabel and a JTextArea.
I was told to; make it scrollable in the event that there is too much info for the JDialogBox and to add HTML formatting (simple stuff like bold and colors.
1) The JScrollBar doesn't seem to produce the scroll side bars.
2) I must not be implementing the JEditorPane correctly. I just substituted JEditorPane for JTextArea in my code and it returned a type converstion error. Is JEditorPane even the correct object to use? Should I be using JTextPane?
The reason I can't do this on a JLabel by JLabel basis is because I don't know how many labels I will need at each runtime. And I also have to have a swingtimer on it. I could create an array and loop around it to create the JLabels. But it seems a waste of commuting cycles. This is no good?

New: awt is covering my swing component...

i am using both awt and swing component on the same page. They are a List and a JComboBox.
while the JcomboBox is placed above the List. it works fine but when i click on the JComboBox, the pull down menu is covered by the awt List. I know that using JList can solve the problem, but i'm new to swing and i just want to make the smallest change to my code.
can i use layeredpane to help?

here is a link to the Swing tutorial that mentions this problem:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/start/swingIntro.html#awt
The Swing tutorial also has a section on converting from AWT to Swing. You should look at that.
Here is another article from the Swing Connection titled "Mixing Heavy and Light Components"
http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/mixing/index.html
Like the previous post says, you are better off not to mix the two.

How to set a Swing component as Modal window on a SWT Component.?

How to set a Swing component as Modal on a SWT Component.I mean, I have a window (SWT Container) with some menu items.
When I click on one menu item then i will get one new Swing Window.
When creating the new frame I had passed Modal value as TRUE in the constructer.Now child is not behaving as Modal Window.I mean I am able to go to parent window even though the child window is opened as a Modal Window.This is only happened when I double click on the Title Bar of the Parent Window.
If I try to click on any other part of the Parent Window except Title bar ... the child window is working as a Modal Window.
Can any one suggest me to solve this one !!

int this case, do this :
JFrame f = new JFrame("Authentification");
f.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
f.getContentPane().add(myJPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
f.setBounds(x,y,w,h);
f.setVisible(true);
Where myJPanel is the Panel you developped.

Can any one suggest me to solve this?
